Kailey & Jacob are joined by two educators and NWEA content specialists who have thought a lot about how to improves student experiences in science. Kim Baker has been at NWEA for 13 years, and Megan Kuehl has been here for eight. We discuss challenging assumptions about the science classroom and unpack the notion that science is inherently impartial.

NWEAcollaborates with more than 30 providers to determine how MAP Growth scores can be used by dozens of instructional and data products to make every classroom a data-informed classroom. Learn more about the Instructional Connections program and explore its unique benefits for administrators, teachers, and coaches.

This document describes the Fluency Protocol developed as part of an NWEA research study funded by the Reading Reimagined grant, a program within the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF). It consists of five sessions, approximately 20 minutes each.

This study examines the effects of a newly developed fluency protocol on historically marginalized students in three Grade 6 classrooms in a large urban school district. The protocol was designed for ease of use and does not require that educators have prior knowledge of reading instruction.

Quick reference guide to support teachers’ implementation of mathematical practices in their classrooms.

This tool supports educators to plan for and elicit evidence of student progress towards learning goals of a lesson. Using a blend of the college- and career-ready shifts and NCTM’s 8 effective mathematics teaching practices as a framework, educators adapt lessons that connect the academic standards and standards for mathematical practice (SMP) to foster ambitious instruction.
